GHOSTLY GUARDIANS

Chapter 1: Morag.

It's now the year 2014. A spaceship has landed at the abandoned and oceanic planet of Morag before a figure started to walk at the barren landscape, despite the wind, rain and multiple geysers erupting. The figure was wearing a red leather jacket with a grey sweatshirt underneath, black pants and boots. He was also wearing a helmet that covers his whole face so that he can breathe and shows threats on the HUD and has internal comm systems. The figure then pulls out a device before activating a hologram map. The map showed what appear to be a temple and holograms of people that once habit the planet many years ago. The map then guides the location to the object that the figure came here for. The figure walks towards an ancient temple known as the Temple Vault before turning off the map and walking inside the ruins. The figure then press a button on the side of his head and cause light blue energy to wrap around its head before the helmet disappears, revealing the figure's face. It was a adult male Human. He looks around the ruins before he places headphones on his ears and places his Sony Walkman on his belt. It was Peter Quill, now grown up. It's been 26 years since Peter was abducted from Earth by a group of interstellar thieves and mercenaries called the Ravagers. Their leader, Yondu Udonta, raised Peter and showed him how to survive in deep space. Yondu also taught Peter how to be the perfect thief. Peter Quill is naturally upbeat and sarcastic and is known for looking on the bright side. Now living in space for 26 years, Peter built up a reputation and continued to work for Yondu Udonta. However, during his time with the Ravagers, Peter had became disloyal to them, and eventually started planning to leave, hence why he is on the planet Morag. Peter learns there is a mysterious item called the Orb and he plans to steal it for himself. Anyway, Peter turns on his Walkman before starting to dance as he listens to the hit 1974 song 'Come and Get Your Love' by Redbone on his Walkman.

Hey (hey) What's the matter with your head? Yeah...

Hey (hey) What's the matter with your mind and all your sighing?

Peter kicks a group of Orloni creatures.

And-a ooh-ohh

Peter grabs a Orloni creature and pretends it to be a microphone.

Hey (hey) Nothin's a matter with your head, baby, find it

Come on and find it

Hell, with it, baby, 'cause you're fine and you're mine

And you look so divine

Come and get your love

Come and get your love

Come and get your love

Come and get your love

Peter uses his jet boot attachments to cross a ditch where there was aquatic crocodile-like creatures.

Come and get your love, come and get your love

Come and get your love, now

Come and get your love, come and get your love

Come and get your love, now

Come and get your love, come and get your love

Come and get your love, now.

Peter opens the doors to a massive tomb where there was a orb that was surrounded by purple energy in some containment device.

Come and get your love

Come and get your love

Come and get your love

Peter activates a plasma sphere and places it on the floor. However, unknown to him, more spaceships landed outside the Temple Vault. One figure came out before more came out of the ships. The majority are a insectoid race of aliens called the Sakaarans except for the first. It was a Kree male with dark skin, a goatee, and a part of his head his cybernetic. His name is Korath, better known as Korath the Pursuer. He is a Kree mercenary working for someone and he is on Morag to find the orb that Peter has already found. Meanwhile, back inside the Temple Vault, Peter has use a magnet like device call the Gravity Mine to pull the Orb out of the containment chamber. Peter picks up the Orb and just as he was about to leave, the group of Sakaarans and Korath pointed their blasters at him.

"Drop it!" Korath demanded.

"Uh, hey." Peter said, unsure what's going on.

Korath gave orders in his native language to his minions before saying...

"Drop it, now!"

"Hey, cool, man. No problem. No problem at all." Peter said as he drops the Orb.

Korath then picks up the Orb before facing Peter once more.

"How do you know about this?" Korath asked.

"I don't even know what that is. I'm just a junker, man. I was checking stuff out." Peter replied.

"You don't look like a junker. You're wearing Ravager garb." Korath said, familiar with the clothes and the Ravager symbol Peter is wearing.

"This is just an outfit, man." Peter said before getting annoyed by Korath's minions poking him with its blaster. "Ninja Turtle, you better stop poking me."

"What is your name?!" Korath demanded.

"My name is Peter Quill, okay? Dude, chill out." Peter replied.

"Move!" Korath ordered.

"Why?" Peter asked.

"Ronan may have questions for you." Korath replied before starting to walk away.

"Hey, you know what? There's another name you might know me by." Peter said, gaining Korath's attention and having a smirk on his face. "Star-Lord."

"Who?" Korath said, confused on what Peter said, which annoyed him.

"Star-Lord, man. Legendary outlaw." Peter said, making Korath shrug to his minions. "Guys?" Peter said to Korath's minions.

"Move!" Korath ordered.

"Ah, forget this." Peter said.

Peter kick his plasma ball backwards towards Korath's minions, which shattered upon impact, and ensnare and disintegrate them in a cloud of the released plasma. This attack gain Korath's attention once more. Peter then pull out his Quad Blasters and fired direct energy fiery blast beams from the top barrels at Korath, knocking him to the ground and dropping the Orb. The Orb rolled back to Peter before he picks it up and places it in his jacket's pocket. Korath got back up and fired a energy beam from his blaster at Peter. Peter managed to duck and the energy beam blast a hole on the wall. Knowing the hole is his one chance to escape, Peter presses a button on the side of his head to activate his helmet before he activates his jet boot attachments on his boots, and propels out of the temple just as Korath tried to fire a energy beam at him. Peter lands hard on the ground before he gets up and run. He hears Korath screaming and looks back to see him jumping out of the temple and pursues him. Peter was about to approach his M-ship the Milano when he saw more of Korath's minions waiting for him. Korath's minions fired green energy beams, but Peter managed to evade them. Peter then threw his gravity mine to stop Korath's soldiers from firing at him, which works and managed to hold them off as he jumps aboard the Milano. The gravity mine stops the hold on Korath's soldiers just as Korath shouts orders to them in his native language. As he was starting up his ship, Peter saw Korath and his soldiers assembling a large cannon. Peter managed to start up the Milano and flew away while Korath and his soldiers shot energy beams at him, forcing him to use his flying skills to dodge the blasts. Once he had gotten away, Peter confidently began cheering until he accidentally flew into a blast of steam which cause the Milano to spiral out of control in the air before starting to make a freefall back down. Peter tumbled inside the ship until he was just able to regain control of his ship before it could slam into the ground. Peter then breathe a sigh of relief.

"Peter?" a woman's voice called, startling Peter.

Peter then sees a pink-skinned woman, a Krylorian, climbing out the lower level of his spaceship and breathing heavily.

"What happened?" the woman asked.

"Hey, uh... Uh... I..." Peter said trying to remember the Krylorian's name, which annoyed her.

"Bereet." the Krylorian name Bereet said.

"Bereet! Look, I'm gonna be totally honest with you. I forgot you're here." Peter said.

Peter then pilots his M-ship and makes his hasty escape out of Morag.
